Luke 37175 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi, do they have an open API? I am guessing they do not. Their contracts with the movie studios probably do not allow that. Just my guess at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37175 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Probably not a legal way I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjason7812 25 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 they must not care about their customers with all the ultrviolet movies etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37175 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 they must not care about their customers with all the ultrviolet movies etc. Like I said earlier, most likely it is the movie studios that would never allow Vudu to open up the content to other apps.

hjason7812 25 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 it used to be open to every platform. until they were hacked. then they closed it off to everything except consoles and phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37175 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 What you could do instead is use Emby Live TV and DVR to legally record your own movies and watch them within Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjason7812 25 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 i don't have a tuner card or cable. that's why I'm trying to get all the apps i can that has videos online.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funwithmedia 352 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Vudu had an API at one point, I believe, but last I checked it was no longer available. But if at some point they provide an API again I too would love to see some sort of Emby Server and Emby Theater connection. Since Vudu is primarily built on UltraViolet, here is a relevant site with details on UV: http://www.uvdemystified.com/uvfaq.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
